Big Boi and Dre Present ... Outkast is a best-of album of OutKast , which after the success of Stankonia was published.
About the album
The album contained a total of 16 tracks, including three new songs. The new recordings were heavily inspired by P-Funk and Smooth Jazz and showed Andre 3000's continuous development towards becoming a singer, which two years later culminated in the almost consistently sung solo album The Love Below . With one of the new songs, The Whole World , OutKast won a Grammy in 2003 in the category "Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group". The Whole World made it to # 30 in Germany, # 4 in New Zealand, and # 19 in the United States and United Kingdom . Big Boi and Dre Present ... OutKast made it to # 18 on the Billboard 200 .
Most of the critics criticized the composition of the songs. The e-zine laut.de calls it “a little flat” and complains about the restriction to only one CD.
The album's booklet includes a two-page biography about OutKast's career, as well as images from the time each album was released and the lyrics of all songs.
Some of the songs have been shortened from their original version. This becomes clearest with the Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and SpottieOttieDopaliscious, shortened by more than a minute .
The song Movin 'Cool (The After Party) can be heard in the movie Idlewild , where it was written by Percival ( André 3000 ) for Angel Davenport ( Paula Patton ). The film version does not feature Patton, but the singer and bassist Debra Killings, who was involved in many of OutKast's songs.
